Vegans are often asked about how they get enough protein in their diets. “Don’t ask me about my protein and I won’t ask you about your cholesterol” is a vegan saying that has been printed on many images.

“Don’t ask me about my protein and I won’t ask you about your cholesterol” was posted on Twitter by Lauren Nelson on October 15, 2013. The saying probably originated on an image.
